The EcoTank L121 uses refillable ink tanks. Use only genuine Epson 664 series ink bottles (6641 Black, 6642 Cyan, 6643 Magenta, 6644 Yellow) for optimal performance and to prevent damage.

5. Repeat for all other colors.

3. Mantemento

3.1 Comprobación dos niveis de tinta

Visually inspect the ink tanks on the side of the printer. The transparent tanks allow you to monitor ink levels. Refill ink when levels approach the lower line to prevent air from entering the system, which can affect print quality.

3.2 Limpeza do cabezal de impresión

If print quality declines (e.g., missing lines, incorrect colors), perform a print head cleaning. This can be done through the printer utility software on your computer:

1. Open the Epson printer utility on your computer.
2. Navega ata o Mantemento or Utilidade ficha.
3. Seleccione Limpeza de cabezas e siga as instrucións que aparecen na pantalla.

Alternatively, you can perform a head cleaning by holding down the Mantemento button on the printer for 3 seconds until the power light starts flashing. Release the button and wait for the cleaning cycle to complete.

3.3 Comprobación da boquilla

After a head cleaning, or if you suspect print quality issues, perform a nozzle check to verify if all nozzles are firing correctly. This can also be done via the printer utility software or by holding the Mantemento button for a shorter duration (e.g., 1 second) to print a nozzle check pattern.
